SIRIUS, JAMES, REMUS, PETER, AND LILY ARE ALL RUNNING THROUGH HOGWARTS ON THEIR way to the Gryffindor Boy's dorms. Remus laughs echo through each corridor as they run excitedly to the portrait of the Fat Lady. Sirius, out of breath, barely manages to say the password.

"Dragon's blood,' he breathes and the door swings open. James, Peter, and Lily rush in, closing the door behind them--leaving the heaving Sirius and Remus outside.

Remus begins a fit of giggles as he looks at Sirius who has his head between his knees, doubled over in exhaustion. "You know, you're supposed to put your hands on your head, Padfoot. Not your head between your knees," he says before repeating the password. He grabs the door and holds it open.

Sirius picks his head up, walking into the Common Room Remus follows. "I knew that, Remus. I had already um-caught my breath," he says, giving Remus a wink. This turns his cheeks pink, and Remus rolls his eyes as they make their way to James and Peter's room.

James, Peter, and Lily are all on the gray couch with a controller in their hands. They've already started a game, but from the looks of it, Lily was kicking both of their asses. Lily's character, Princess Daisy, crosses the finish line in first place. Next, follows Peter and then James--barely managing to scrape into fifth place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's a real winner." Sirius laughs, patting James on the shoulder. Lily and Peter high-five and Remus giggles. "Oh piss off, Sirius," James huffs, handing his controller over.

"Atta boy! That's my best friend, you go best friend!" Sirius says, grinning. Peter hands his controller to a very amused Remus as Lily starts a brand new game. He plops down next to Peter who scoots over for Sirius. "Okay boys, pick a character and then James, Peter, and I will pick a course," Lily says, adjusting her glasses.

Remus nods. "Okay. Are you ready to lose, Black?" he says, smirking.

Sirius rolls his eyes. "I never lose, Lupin."

Lily snickers. "Just pick already, you two."

"I hope Remus wins, Padfoot." James mumbles, a pout on his face. Sirius gasps in a response. "How dare you! I thought you were my best friend. Well, I guess that means no more coffee ice cream with our Broadway musical binges, then. Too bad, I was enjoying our quality time together. I'll just start baking with Peter on Sundays."

He finally decides on a character: Bowser.

Peter sniggers, leaning over to Remus. "He picks Bowser because he thinks he's punk," he whispers. Remus laughs.

"Hey, I heard that, Wormtail!" Sirius quips. Peter giggles, "Oops."

Remus chooses Mario on a whim.

"Really, Remus? Mario?" Sirius says incredulously. He acts like he's surprised.

Remus' face deadpans. "Bowser?"

He doesn't even have to say anything else and Sirius huffs and sinks into the couch. His actions reminded Remus of himself when he was younger and his mother wouldn't let him go out to stargaze. "Lily, will you just pick a course already?" Sirius whines impatiently.

She rolls her eyes. "Not if you don't stop whining, then I'll take even longer. Okay, James, Rainbow Road or Maple Treeway?" she asks, turning to him. He smirks, already knowing which one Sirius was the worst at.
